This goes well with beer ...!

Broccoli, one of the vegetables that is easily available all year round. Generally, you eat the tufts, but what about the stems?

Broccoli is almost a stem, isn't it?

I used to choose something that was difficult to handle and had as short a stem as possible, but I found a recipe that made me want to buy only the stem. This time, we will introduce snacks that resemble broccoli stalks as "Zha cai".

Preparation

Peel the roots of the broccoli stems into thin slices and boil them in hot water with a little salt (thin slices can also be eaten).

Peel the root thickly. If you are worried about the upper part, peel it thinly

If you slice it into thin slices, it will be a good amount.

It's OK in the last 30 seconds of boiling the bunch

All you have to do is fry it quickly

Fry the stems in a frying pan with sesame oil, and when it becomes slightly transparent, add 1/2 teaspoon of soy sauce and a little chili oil. Serve in a bowl and sprinkle with white sesame seeds to complete.

If you don't want to use a frying pan, add 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, a little chicken glass, a little chili oil, and a little pepper to the freshly boiled stalks. The seasoning will be lighter than before.

* Please adjust the amount of salt to your liking.

The point is to finish both with a chewy texture. The crunchy texture, spicy seasoning, and the sweetness of broccoli make it hard to stop eating ...!

Personally, I like the soy sauce flavor. It won't stop once you start eating!
